Abuse Of Authority? A Debate In Political Philosophy
[ send me this paper ]
History has a way
of repeating itself and it is by understanding the processes of debate
within the context of the social paradigm of the past that the future
may be better understood. This 7 page paper asserts that by exploring
the views of such political philosophers as Jean Jacque Rosseau, Thomas
Hobbes and John Locke, the student can come to a broader understanding
of modern events, such as the murder of Amadou Diallo by New York Police
officers. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Private Arms Possession And Community
[ send me this paper ]
The debate over the right to
bear arms and the need in American society to control guns and violence
has reached an apogee since the incident at Littleton, Colorado, High
School. The view of Thomas Hobbes, in Leviathan, shows a world where
man will fight to the death all those not himself. In order to protect
and defend life, man must come together in a new definition of 'self'.
To organize into community is to distribute power and to make a
commitment to a stated set of rules. This 10 page paper argues that
Hobbes' philosophy can be aligned against that of Kant, who set the
value of man within their schema of society. Bibliography lists 10
sources.

The Leviathan State of Nature
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay examining how Thomas Hobbes' state of nature is an 'inference from the passions' of human kind. When Hobbes discovered Euclid's methods of logic, he set about examining the need for and the inevitability of the existence of government using Euclid's methods. Hobbes began with three basic assumptions from which to build: (1) justice and morality were products of government, not innate qualities of man; (2) all human motivation springs either from the desire for personal pleasure or the fear of pain; and (3) while there are physical and mental differences between individuals, those differences pale in connection with membership in a group. Under the last assumption, anyone was capable of overpowering any other one at any time. Hobbes concluded that in a state of nature, life would be every man against every man.
